Current trends: One&Only Reethi Rah continues to stand apart in the Maldives through sheer scale, with 118 villas spread across 12 distinct beaches on a 109-acre island giving guests genuine space and privacy rarely found even among other private-island resorts; Botanica's plant-based menu under chef Matthew Kenney reflects a broader trend of Maldivian resorts diversifying beyond seafood-and-Western fine dining into globally influential culinary programming.
